Happy 420, most of our country is high on weed all day!
Tags: marijuana, 420, weed, legalizationThis evening, you will observe a lot of people at the grocery store randomly buying bags of chips and other junk food. Their eyes will be bloodshot, and they might smell of a similar strange fragrance. To the normal person this might appear odd, but the rest of us know that today is a celebration for folks who smoke marijuana. April 20th is dubbed a marijuana holiday in our drug culture, where people get together and smoke cannabis. To summarize, there are a ton of people out there today who will be high. I didn’t realize the holiday had arrived, until I saw a group of my neighbors on their back porch last night firing up around 1am. Then it made sense, and I remembered the times when I would be one of those people getting high on 4/20. Yes, I have smoked weed in the past and have a strong preference for it. I was quite the pothead, smoking up to an estimated 5-6 times daily. I fondly remember 4/20 on my senior year of college, where my girlfriend at the time and I smoked 8 grams of hydro that day (marijuana grown in water, and highly potent). [...more]
Myspace deleted my profile and all 2200 friends, I’m furious!
Tags: Myspace, spam, customer serviceDo you realize how pissed off I was when I returned home from work, to discover my profile on Myspace was deleted? I use my profile to stay in contact with friends and readers that I’ve made through the blog. Over 2200 friends were gone, with no way to reach them again. I sent a email to Myspace customer support, which resulted in a dead end. I received a generated response telling me how to reset my password, with no attempt to actually answer my questions about the problem. I’ve had friends who were locked out of Myspace, and the response was a painful process of taking a picture of yourself holding a sign with your account ID number on it. Myspace customer service is difficult, and I imagine Tom and two friends drinking beer and randomly answering emails. [...more]
Thrown from roof of moving minivan, and runs naked along bypass
Tags: drug abuse, mental illness, car accidentThis story unfolds this week in Reading, PA and is one of the most unbelievable and ridiculous stories I have ever heard. To summarize, a man was driving route 422 in Reading doing 55 mph. He proceeded to climb out his window onto the roof of his minivan, where I assume he was “surfing”. The van lost control and he was thrown over an embankment, which motorists witnessed and assumed he was dead. Suddenly, the man appeared with a huge gash in his side that exposed his organs. He proceeded to take off his clothes, and run naked down the side of route 422. Police arrived, and couldn’t subdue him with 3 taser hits and pepper spray. Instead, the police had to tackle him to control him and get him to the hospital, where he is now in critical condition. Similar to beer muscles, this man had “drug muscles” which can be even scarier. [...more]
Hallucinations, a reaction to medication or my mind?
Tags: hallucination, mental illness, medicationAm I hallucinating from the bipolar medication I am on, or am I just hallucinating? This is the question I asked myself as I observed the soda drop from the machine. In a typical office morning ritual, I was getting my caffeine buzz to wake up from the effects of the Seroquel that knocks me out at night. As I pushed the button, it was a slow motion flash that went through my mind. The soda can appeared almost surreal, and my thought were of the 1700′s and 1800′s. Would people of that era be amazed at a feat like this? Simply inserting a piece of paper into a mechanism, which results in a good being produced. Think of what people of that time had to do to get a simple good? Most products were made at home, with far more exertion and effort on part of the consumer. I bet in their wildest dreams, they would have never thought this possible. Let alone operating a machine to download “Amateur Anal Attempts 8″, in order to fulfill a sick and twisted fantasy in the midnight hours. It was a trance that I was thrown into, and all of these thoughts ran though my head in the matter of seconds. As I walked away from the soda machine, I thought of how odd the experience was.

High oil prices, high wheat prices, and why?
Tags: oil, middle east, military, environmentThe problem is oil, and everything in life is connected to that problem. Have you noticed that the price of bread is higher? The reason you’re paying more for a hot dog bun is oil! Sounds outrageous doesn’t it? Here is what is happening. The wheat that we produce in the mid west is declining. This is because of the high price of oil, which leads us to mixing ethanol with gas to lower the price. The reason we are mixing ethanol isn’t for the environment, it is simply to drop the price similar to how drug dealers cut their heroin. Because we are now mixing gas with ethanol, we need to produce more of this ethanol. The farmers in the mid west are planting more cornfields, for ethanol is derived from corn. With more of our Nation’s fields planted with corn, there is less focus on wheat being planted. It is simple supply and demand, and with less wheat available the price increases. But wait, it goes deeper.
The wheat we do have planted, is being sold overseas because the countries in the middle east are paying higher prices for it. When was the last time you saw a picture of a wheat field in Saudi Arabi? Our wheat is being sold to the same countries in the middle east that are setting the price of oil so high. [...more]
